Search for specific Tweets, accounts, or ongoing conversations

There are many ways to use search on Twitter. You can find Tweets from yourself, friends, local businesses, and everyone from well-known entertainers to global political leaders. By searching for topic keywords or hashtags, you can follow ongoing conversations about breaking news or personal interests.

We give you control over what you see in your search results through safe search mode. These filters exclude potentially sensitive content, along with accounts you have muted or blocked, from your search results. You have the option to turn it off, or back on, at any time (instructions outlined below).

When you’re signed in to your account on the web, using search is slightly different than using it via the Twitter for iOS or Android apps. You can find instructions for both below.

1. Tap the Explore tab
2. At the top of the page, enter your search into the search box and tap Search.
3. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
4. Filter your results by tapping Top, Latest, People, Photos, Videos, News, or Broadcasts (located at the top of your search results).
5. Tap the filter icon in the search bar to refine your results according to All people or People you follow, and Everywhere or Near you.
   

Note: Safe search settings allow you to filter your search results to exclude potentially sensitive content and/or accounts you have muted or blocked from your results. You can adjust this setting by logging in to your account on twitter.com and using the Search from the web instructions. Your settings will apply to searches on the web, in your iOS app, and in Twitter for Android.

1. Tap the Explore tab
2. Enter your search into the search box and tap Search.
3. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
4. Filter your results by tapping Top, Latest, People, Photos, Videos, or News, or Periscopes (located at the top of your search results).
5. Tap the filter icon in the search bar to refine your results according to From anyone or People you follow, and Anywhere or Near you.
   
6. Tap the overflow icon to access Search settings. Safe search allows you to filter your search results with two options:
   1. Excluding potentially sensitive content from results: To disable this setting, uncheck the box next to Hide sensitive content to turn off.
   2. Excluding accounts you have muted or blocked: To disable this setting, uncheck the box next to Remove blocked and muted accounts to turn off.

Note: To learn more about tailoring your search options and results, read our article about advanced search.

1. Enter your search query into the search box at the top of the page.
2. Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
3. Filter your results by clicking Top, Latest, People, Photos, or Videos (located at the top of your search results).
4. Click the Search filters options to filter your results From anyone or People you follow, and Anywhere or Near you. Additionally, you can select a different language or perform an Advanced search.
5. Click the more icon on the right hand side of the search results page for more options:
   1. Click Search settings to disable (or re-enable) safe search to filter your search results:
   2. Safe search settings include Hide sensitive content and Remove blocked and muted accounts. Uncheck the box to disable either setting, you may re-enable at any time. Note: This setting may take several minutes to go into effect.
   3. Click Save this search to save your search term.
   4. Click Embed this search to create a search widget for a website. Find more information in our developer documentation.

Trends are available on the Twitter for iOS app, the Twitter for Android app, and twitter.com.

On Twitter's mobile apps, you can find Trends listed under the Trends section of the Explore tab When signed in to twitter.com on a desktop or laptop computer, Trends are listed in many places, including the Home timeline, Notifications, search results, and profile pages.

Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter.

You can choose to see Trends that are not tailored for you by selecting a specific Trends location on twitter.com, iOS, or Android (instructions below). Location Trends identify popular topics among people in a specific geographic location.

Note: The number of Tweets that are related to the Trends is just one of the factors the algorithm looks at when ranking and determining trends. Algorithmically, Trends and hashtags are grouped together if they are related to the same topic. For instance, #MondayMotivation and #MotivationMonday may both be represented by #MondayMotivation.

You may notice that some trends have # sign before the word or phrase. This is called a hashtag and is included specifically in Tweets to mark them as relating to a topic, so that people can follow the conversation in search.

Yes, when signed into your account on the twitter.com, iOS, or Android, Trends will be tailored for you based on your location and who you follow. There will be many world and local news events and conversations that will appear in your trends regardless of your personalization.

Yes, you can view Trends for a specific location on twitter.com, iOS, or Android.

View Trends via twitter.com:

Note: If you don't find your preferred country or city, it means we're not receiving enough Tweets from that geographical area to create a list. You can look up local Tweets on any topic by using advanced Twitter search operators.

Clicking or tapping any of the Trends takes you to the Twitter search results for that Trend. You'll see all Tweets including that phrase or hashtag. To see what people are saying about a previous Trend, perform a search for that keyword.

Simply post a Tweet including the exact word or phrase as it appears in the Trends list (with the hashtag, if you see one). Due to the large number of people Tweeting about these specific Trends, you may not always be able to find your particular Tweet in search, but your followers will always see your Tweets.

Note: Twitter also filters searches for quality. To understand what types of behavior could cause your Tweets to be filtered out, read about our search rules and restrictions.

Yes. We want Trends to promote healthy conversations on Twitter. This means that at times, we may not allow or may temporarily prevent content from appearing in Trends until more context is available. This includes Trends that:

• Violates the Twitter Rules.

• Contains profanity or adult/graphic references.

• Targets the privacy of victims of serious crimes and of minors, who are private figures.

In some cases, we may also consider the newsworthiness of the content, or if it is in the public interest when evaluating potential violations. In these cases, the content might continue to trend on our platform.

Please note that even if we prevent a hashtag or content from appearing in Trending topics, conversations around that content will still be accessible on Twitter, but those terms will not be in the Trending topics section.

In the U.S., as part of our work to protect the integrity of the conversation around the 2020 U.S. election, we have expanded our efforts to add context and review trends for violations. Read more here.

Do Trends have context?

We manually monitor Trends and work to add context to help answer the question, 'Why is this trending?' We do this through attaching a representative Tweet to the Trend, adding a headline and description, or curating a landing page to give more direct context. We may also add a combination of these.

Above some Trends you may see a category such as “Politics,” “Music,” or “Entertainment.” This is automatically selected based on what the Tweets in the Trend are about.
